Emulate workspace basics

keypad directly, or you can use the following equivalent keyboard

The arrow keys on the keyboard map to the corresponding
navigation keys on the Emulate workspace navigation keypad.

The Enter, or Return, key corresponds to the Emulate workspace
Select key.

The Page Up and Page Down keys correspond to the Emulate
workspace Left and Right soft keys, respectively.

The number keys on your keyboard map to the corresponding
number keys on the Emulate workspace keypad.

Change to a different test device

In the Test Devices panel, double-click a new device. The
Active Device icon appears
next to the selected new device, which is loaded into the Emulate workspace.
The Emulate workspace plays the content from the beginning.

still select other files in different workspaces without affecting
the device selected for emulation. For example, you can select a
different device in the Browse workspace and view its information.
You can also select different devices to add to a group on the Test
Devices panel, without causing the Emulate workspace to switch to
emulating a different device.
